The Polar Cap Magnetic Activity (<em>PC</em> Index) as a Tool of Monitoring and Nowcasting the Magnetospheric Disturbances

PC index was originally introduced as a characteristic of the polar cap magnetic activity generated by geoeffective solar wind coupling with the magnetosphere. Subsequent researches showed that the PC index follows changes of the solar wind electric field EKL through the field-aligned current system...
